Baikal Mini Miner is a unique miner made by the Baikal tech team. This miner comes with a hash rate of 150 Mhs and shallow power consumption of 50W. It mines with six supported algorithms the X11, X13, X14, X15, Quark, and Qubit. This dedicated ASIC mining hardware provides a unique mining experience by accepting six different algorithms.

About Baikal Mini Miner

This hardware can produce the promised hash rate of 150 Mhs in all algorithms and does it with low power usage, as discussed by the manufacturers on paper. Thanks to the low electricity consumption and its small size, it makes less noise than most miners. Just like the Gold shell HS3 SE, this miner is excellent for residential areas.

Specifications

The design quality of its shell provides a smooth mining operation. It allows easy stacking of more than one device in the case of a farm. Due to the multiple algorithms, it can mine MonetaryUnit(MUE), Digibyte(DGB), CannabisCoin(CANN), and Dash(DASH). Of interface and usage, the Baikal mini miner has its personalized computer system that helps manage the device, so there isn't any need for a connection to a computer.

To begin mining, all the user has to do is connect it to the Ethernet local area network and open up the web interface to manage and access the hardware. It uses the DHCP approach to get an IP address on the network. This web system is quite like the Scripta mining distribution for Raspberry Pi. Scripta works well with this miner, and it's easy to customize.

The Baikal Mini Miner has a temperature check that reports the ambient temperature range for every given time. However, one doesn't have to worry about overheating. The miner consumes much less power and has a fan for cooling. To change between algorithms, one has to first customize the mining pools for each of them.

The software is mainly about a failsafe automation switch in-between pools and algorithms. The Baikal Mini Miner has a small design. About one pound of weight while holding on one palm, it is easily one of the most miniature miners ever. Its size is 100 × 95 x 140mm, and it makes use of a 25 plug wire for power.

Algorithms

The Baikal Mini Miner works with six different algorithms. Each algorithm has additional profitability and power efficiency. They are namely the x11, x13, x14, x15, Quark, and Qubit. X11 is a well-known algorithm with minable coins like MonetaryUnit (MUE) and CannabisCoin(CANN) and has a power consumption of 40W. The x13, x14, x15 is entirely unknown but have power consumptions of 46W,47W, and 48W, respectively.

Noise Level

The Baikal Mini Miner has a noise degree of 45db. This noise level is low because it consumes less power than standard, so it has less work to do. Most miners have a noise degree of 60 to 80db. The mini miner's noise degree is like ASICminer or Goldshell's method to noiseless mining and cooling.

Profitability

Regarding profitability, one can't forget to check on the authentic algorithms of the device. The Baikal Mini Miner comes with six different mining algorithms, although not all are that famous. E.g., the X11 is well known, the X14 and X15 aren't popular, and unless new minable coins are coming out, they aren't that profitable as they use greater power.

For Quark and Qubit, one can get some profit, but for significant amounts, one has to search for new or trending coins and take the risk to mine them. Miners should bear in mind that profitability usually depends on the market circumstances and electricity rate in the area. If the market favors the top coins and algorithms, the owner will make a sufficient profit.
